"Mr. Gong wants me to stay at Mad Poihat for the second anime? And it's also an original machine combat animation? ”

Miyadai began a conversation with Supervisor Kishi Seiji, and quite directly stated the reason for letting the other party stay in Kyoto.

Because he has been in Mad Poihat for quite some time, he can actually learn that they have plans to have two anime next year, after all, Mad Poihat has also divided the production team for this purpose.

He also considered the possibility of continuing to serve as the animation supervisor of the new work, after all, he was quite satisfied with the effect and impact of the previous work "Black Rock Shooter". The cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant, so theoretically his ability to act as an overseer had been initially affirmed by Mad Poihat.

However, he didn't expect that the genre of the new animation would be original machine combat animation...... One animation is a daily department, and the other is a machine battle, and the span between the two is quite large.

"So what are you going to do with the screen part of the machine battle? If you draw it by hand, it will definitely put some pressure on Mad Poihat, both in terms of cost and production, and if you use 3D technology...... Can Mad Poihat do it well? ”

Kishi Chengji's worries are all on the point.,In terms of the current industry,Not every animation company can say that doing mecha animation is doing mecha animation like Moonrise Animation.。

Robots are not something you want to draw, you can draw if you want to.

What's more, it's equivalent to saying that only half of Mad Poihat is working on this animation.

"We're going to outsource the design and the 3DCG part of the airframe, which is really not very good for Mad Poihat now." Miyayo explained.

It's just an ideal state to be able to do everything well with your own company, but it's actually very difficult to do, and Japanese-style animation companies have a bit of a "small workshop" feel, and each has what they are good at and what they are not good at, so they also need to make up for each other. Therefore, Miyadai will not resist this cooperation subjectively, and objectively cannot resist this cooperation.

Therefore, if he wants to do machine battle animation, he is ready to outsource this part of the more technology-dependent part, and he has a general idea of who to choose to work with - this year, a new animation company called Orange was established in Tokyo, mainly to undertake technical work such as special effects, 3D and CG.

Of course, it's still a small company with no name, and after more than a decade of waiting for an anime called "Gem Country", the Orange can really come out of the shadows.

"And what about the production costs?" Kishi Seiji asked again that if he wanted to achieve the expected visual expression, the cost of making a machine battle animation would never be the same as that of making a daily animation.

"There are 12 episodes in a single season, and the total budget is about 250 million yen, and the producer, Ms. Mai Iwami, is in charge of this." Saying that, Miyadai handed a stack of documents pressed under his arm to Kishi Seiji, and this is the plan for the new animation.

At this time, Iwami Mai Rinka's main job is to raise funds for the new animation, of course, when necessary, Miyadai will also do it, but ...... After all, the producer is her, which involves the issue of position and responsibilities, and Miyadai can't interfere as casually as he did when the company belonged to him before.

However, Gong Daisheng thinks that this senior sister should be able to do it...... At least Rinka-senpai can get money from the TV station, right?

So at this point, it's already possible to explain the title of this anime, which is mainly used to sell sales, and it's called "Infinite Stratos".

Well, the title looks very unfamiliar.

Its Chinese translation would be "Infinite Stratos...... Still strange.

The unfamiliarity with the awkward title does not mean the strangeness of the work itself, and this animation also has a "thunderous" pronoun, called "The Wall of Masterpieces" - that is, "There is no masterpiece below the wall of masterpieces", or "The sales have not even reached Infinite Stratos, so you are embarrassed to call it a masterpiece?" ".

This confirms what Miyadai said when he first met Kishi Seiji, that is, "to make the best harem animation...... Or to make the harem animation that can sell the most sales.

The reason why there is such a saying as "the wall of masterpieces" is because Infinite Stratos is a work with a vulgar plot that has no bright spots, but it eventually achieved amazing sales, and blocked many extremely interesting works below, even if the reputation is good, in the face of IS's sales barriers, you can only "look at the wall and sigh".

In 2011, when this animation was broadcast, there were still a lot of topical animations played, such as the Gate of the Destiny Stone, Unheard Flower Name, Turning Penguin Jar, Future Diary, Swinging Lily, Guilty Crown, etc., there are works like Unheard Flower Names that broke the wall after relying on later sales, but in terms of animation sales that year, only two works won IS...... One of them is called Madoka Magica, and the other is called Fate/zero.

Animation sales,It's really a very metaphysical thing.。

Originally, the sales record of harem animation was around 20,000 per volume, which was held by the originator-level manga harem animation innocent tenant pretty landlord, but IS raised this record to the level of approaching 40,000 - if the sales of "Wall of Masterpieces" are really used as the standard for measuring masterpieces, then even works like Fullmetal Alchemist and CLANNAD cannot be considered masterpieces.

The only problem is that this will be an animation that will reduce the "style" of the production company, and it will kick hard in the road of "industry pill", but ...... It did sell very well, so good that it was eye-catching.

The sales achieved by the anime are closely related to the era in which it was born, but Miyashiro Kanata felt that IS was worth trying. Because if you want to find the type of animation whose sales are least restricted by the era, then the love and harem works are definitely at the top.

Why does IS sales seem so incredible? Because if you summarize its core story, the main points are as follows:

First, in the worldview of this story, only women can drive mechas.

Second, the male protagonist with the handle became the only male who could drive a mecha for no reason.

Thirdly, he transferred to a girls' school that trains pilots.

Fourth, he began to pick up girls and pretend to be forced, and girls from all over the world were forced to be forced.

So what is the selling point of such a vulgar story full of déjà vu? Selling 2,000 is too much, and being able to achieve such a high sales volume can be called a "supernatural event".

However, in fact, whether it is in the era when IS was born or now, this template is still quite a "fresh" routine...... Or that this work is the founder of the kind of brainless harem fan.,It's the root of all evil.,It's its success that gave birth to countless follow-up works.。

It's well ahead of the likes of "Dating Wars."

So one of the main reasons why IS can sell well is this:It's a brainless work written by a certain kind of fat house specifically to meet a certain kind of fat house fantasy - playing galgame at least requires a strategy process,But IS created the kind of "staring at who is pregnant" model,The kind of kind of beautiful girl who likes to yo ha you don't need a reason at all。

What kind of works such as the sword dance of the elves and the samples of the common people, they all have to eat ashes behind the ass of IS.

The original IS is a light novel, so there will also be a feeling that a garbage light novel started with IS. Its original work is a piece of shit both in story and writing, and the author who wrote this work ...... Actually, it's no better than a piece of shit, but I have to say that the light novel that starts from a certain moment has always been the "Illustrator Save" world series, and IS's novels are typical "buy illustrations and get toilet paper series".

Therefore, the character design is also an important reason for the success of its animation - the animation character design is often more refined than the illustration, so far the light animation that violates this "often" law, it seems that there is only a certain Suqing.

Brainless routines, exquisite characters, excellent pictures, and wonderful machine battles are the main characteristics of IS, and the key to its success lies in this.

Gong Daiju felt that these were reproducible, but also triable and worth trying, so he ...... Although a little presumptuous, why not give it a try?
